Answer:
x=28
Explanation:
From the diagram we know that the angle m<3 = m<4 and the angle m<1 = m<2. Also we know that the sum of the four angles must be equal to 360.
Summarizing:
1. m<3 = m<4
2. m<1 = m<2
3. m<1 + m<2 + m<3 + m<4 = 360
Substituting 1 and 2 in equation three we have:
4. 2m<2 + 2m<3 = 360.
Now, we know that m<3 = 3x + 16 and m<2 = x + 84. Substituting in equation 4:
2 ( x + 84) + 2 ( 3x + 16) = 360
Solving for x:
2x + 168 + 6x + 32 = 360
8x = 224
x=28
